john mccain admitted to me in the article. there are american context that are not sure the obama demonstration was not used drones on their soil. than -- the line -- a dentist in kentucky. guest: he never held political office before senator. he is being taken seriously as a 2016 candidate. in six years, he could be running for president. that is a pretty fast and sent -- ascent. caller: will the republican party, after all it has been through, learned that the problems in the middle east are because of decades of flawed foreign policy and not necessarily because we are free and they are nine, or we are christian and they are not? particularly with respect to rand paul. he seems to be of that camp. his father, ron paul, seems to be of the camp that has actually acknowledged that decades of foreign policy have created so many problems it will take that case to get out of it. i would like to get your spin on that, please. guest: there is a difference between ron paul and rand paul and it is less than you are suggesting. it is a

as john mccain always said that reward will be in heaven. i appreciate being here. this is a good piece of legislation. we look forward to seeing it through. thank you. [applause] >> ok. we'll take a few questions. >> gun legislation, for background checks it seemed like it would have bipartisan support. what is your group going to do to make sure the same thing doesn't happen with your legislation? >> first of all, i think we have a strong foundation. the eight of us did not get together on a whim. we've been working for three months and struggling through these issues and each giving and getting to know each other. that is number one. second, i think i can speak for both caucuses, i think the majority of people in both caucuses want to get this done. people for different reasons, from different regions. other people are at extremes from those caucuses that don't. but i think this is ours to lose. i think we have a great product here. it will need improvement but it is really strong and i think we have great unity among ourselves that will keep this going through.

john mccain clearly is coming from a different time. i think we are going to start looking at the history books -- we should start looking at people who have served as opposed to these couch talkers. host: can i take a step back and ask you about the relationship and how it has a vault between john mccain and chuck hagel? the bulls came in veterans of the vietnam war, both friends, and now the relationship has evolved. there is question as to whether john mccain support chuck hagel. guest: it has evolved. knowing senator mccain the way i do, he has always been somebody to reaches out to a variety of different folks. he has friends of the other side. i do think the differences between the two senators about barack and afghanistan and other issues -- about iraq and afghanistan and other issues -- all of those things have led to a divergence. the fact that they are no longer best buddies -- at the end of the day washington is about politics. there are opposed opinions to this key security measure. host: chuck hagel served as the chair of t

i want to say that i am a registered republican, begrudgingly voting for john mccain and mitt romney. there's no conservative movement left. i want to say that i am officially done and my two brothers are with their families with republicans. i guess i call myself a man without a party. marco rubio will give the response in spanish and english. this is just -- it started with karl rove, the architect, that little nerd -- if i see him one more time on tv -- is the architect of the destruction of the gop. he gave us obama. the idea of reaching out and becoming democrats. what democrats aren't are people who believe in a group identity and hyphenated americanism. we conservatives believe in assimilation. that's why he's not going to give a response in german or italian. we will hear all the lofty platitudes and trite things from obama about a nation of immigrants. it was a somewhat perverse people being melted down by the fires of assimilation and being made similar -- it was a people meltedrdiverse down by the fires of assimilation. nobody would know marco rubio. he looks like the beave
